Build strength, confidence, and fitness
while learning how to protect yourself.
I began my martial arts journey in Lincoln, Nebraska, and saw how the right training environment can build a child’s confidence, discipline, and character. For more than 35 years, I’ve been proud to bring that same commitment to families in our community—creating a safe, structured, and supportive place where children grow stronger on and off the mat.
After beginning my martial arts journey in Lincoln, Nebraska, I saw firsthand how the right training environment can positively shape a child’s confidence, discipline, and character. For more than 35 years, we’ve brought that same commitment to families in our community by helping students grow both on and off the mat. Our focus is on creating a safe, supportive, and structured environment where children learn practical self-defense, improve their fitness, and build confidence they can carry into school, home, and everyday life. At Kassebaum’s Martial Arts, our goal is not just to teach martial arts but to help every child develop the skills, mindset, and confidence to succeed.
In a Supportive Environment
Families choose Kassebaum’s Martial Arts for our supportive culture, clear curriculum, and expert instruction. Whether for kids or adults, our martial arts and self-defense classes help students grow confident in a welcoming community.
What makes KMA martial arts school different from others?
We focus on more than techniques. Our program blends skill development with character, confidence, and life skills in a structured, supportive environment designed specifically for children and families.
How do you support each child’s individual needs?
We recognize that every child learns differently. Instructors provide guidance, encouragement, and adjustments to help each student progress at their own pace while building confidence and consistency.
How do you keep kids motivated and engaged?
Our structured curriculum, goal-setting system, and positive reinforcement help students stay motivated. Achievable milestones and encouragement keep children excited about learning and progressing.
How does your program help outside the dojo?
Parents often see improvements in focus, confidence, behavior, and responsibility at school and home. The skills students learn on the mat are designed to translate into everyday life.
How do you involve parents in their child’s progress?
We communicate clearly with parents about progress, goals, and expectations. Families are encouraged to observe classes and celebrate milestones so they stay informed and involved.
Why is your environment especially good for families?
Our school is built around a welcoming, family-friendly culture. We prioritize safety, structure, and respect, creating a place where children feel supported and parents feel confident in their choice.
